Quote:The trailer says that "we were sent beyond the reach of time where we remained until now" this is in no way insinuating that we are sent to the future. The trailer is stating that we are sent to a place where nothing happens, a dead zone or limbo if you will. The trailer also shows that he is standing in what looks like a battle field with no people and a hole tears open walking through it.<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/50477-The-trailer-says-nothing-about-time-travel">http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/thre ... ime-travel</a><!-- m -->.
So what I believe happens is in a last ditch effort to protect the only people that can save the realm he send us to a place where time stands still until we can safely return to kick major ass.
Discuss.
So it's like i was asking about. It's not exactly time traveling, from the way it sounds.
That's actually what I inferred myself, but I'd still consider it time travel. The "bravest" would simply be frozen in time, and unfrozen when they would be needed most. While it's not time travel in the sense of going from point A to point B, it's inferred that some form of time does pass back in Eorzea, and therefor it could still be considered time travel as we'd be moving from the "past" (present) to the future.
The more I think about the entire concept, the more indifferent I grow about it. While there's plenty of negatives, there's room to make positives out of the bad. Having a character stay behind and weather the era (depending on the length of the time skip) while others move forward could add interesting dynamics to the relationships. Something tells me the time skip might only be something as small a five years, though, given the nature of the events. If it's twenty years after Dalamud has razed Eorzea and the Garleans still haven't conquered it, that would be pretty laughable.
Unless of course there's some unseen event that has prevented them from doing so, such as the beast tribes and the primals giving them a lot of trouble.
